Zucchero

The author of such hits as Baila Morena, Senza una donna, Diamante, Wonderful World, Everytime You Go Away, and many more -- Zucchero -- will perform his only concert in the Czech Republic on September 14th. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see and hear him live, and experience his combination of Italian charm, temperament and exceptional charisma.



This living legend has released 16 albums and sold many millions of records. He's been compared to Joe Cocker and Chris Rea and now Adelmo Fornaciari (his real name) is coming to our country to delight Czech fans with new arrangements of his biggest hits.



Zucchero's concerts are famous for electrifying audiences right from the start. His performances are an amazing experience; a combination of Italian energy and extraordinary musicianship. There's no one who could remain calm during one of his shows. Zucchero immediately establishes a connection with the public and enjoys their presence. From his reaction it's obvious how satisfying and enjoyable he finds live performance and contact with an audience.



His music is a combination of various genres -- from blues to rock, making use of elements of modern electronic music. Above all else, he's famous for his romantic ballads, and has written many captivating songs that are known around the world: Mama, Senza una donna, Diamante, Baila (Sexy Thing)...



Zucchero is also happy to cooperate with other artists, including such well respected stars as Paul Young, Eric Clapton (with whom he also toured), Luciano Pavarotti, Elton John, Bono, John Lee Hooker, Sting, and Andrea Bocelli.
